Dart through Dart

Presenter: Ted Neward (unless someone else steps up)

Dart is another "transpiled to JavaScript" language that looks to put some structure around building large-sized JavaScript applications. Developed in large part by Gilad Bracha (of Newspeak and, more famously, Java) at Google, Dart has a lot of interesting language features that are finding their ways into other languages, including optional typing. A number of Dart's features are actually sliding their way into ECMAScript 2015/2016, as well.
